"Where the Hell am I?'
The girl asked, her crystal blue eyes wide. Of course she knew, the white rabbit had just told her, but it was such a complete shock, of joy and wonder, that she couldn't help but say it aloud. Noticing how the white rabbit was already scurrying away, she called out for him to wait, but he didn't. All he did was toss a paper to her, a scroll really, and he was quickly out of sight.
Picking up the paper gingerly, she unraveled it to find it was a quick scrawl of the hall she stood in, and that it was labeled, each door. There was also a key, a skeleton, with a heart shaped end, and written in tiny, fancy script "Property of The Queen of Hearts." Realizing it was most likely stolen property, she hastily dropped it, before picking it up.
Looking the map over, one door caught her attention. "Wonderland Boutique," it read. Looking down at her clothes, she saw that after her chase of the white rabbit, her clothes were quite a mess. Seeing the door was to her right, she walked briskly to it, and inserted the key. It clicked dully, before popping open, and Alice was surrounded by woods, sprawling, and green, with insects of every kind flitting about, buzzing, and humming quietly. The path was lined with mushrooms, of all colors, and she trotted along the path pleasantly, until she came to a giant mushroom, with a door, window, and chimney on it, and in a casual script, it read "Wonderland Boutique-Thrift Shoppe"
Wandering in, she found it was a rather spacious little place, just perfect for clothes she needed. Picking out a simple dress, for they had no pants for girls, she took the blue silk-like, floaty cloth to the changing rooms, and came out looking wonderful, like a true Wonderlander. Also finding a black velvet chocker, with a red, and black jewel dangling from it, she tried it on, and it seemed to glow before settling. By than Alice was the only one in the shop.
"I'd take it...but it seems I have no money."
She said to apologetically to the cashier, a bored looking frog. She shrugged, and zapped a fly with her tongue, before saying in a low-keyed voice, "So get out of them. Your disgusting body's soiling the gown."
That infuriated the girl. Lunging forward, she grabbed the frog by the neck, and shook her. Going around the counter, she took a quill, sharp, and sleek, and began piercing the queen skin of the creature, laughing insanely all the while. Than, leaning forward, she snarled at her in her normally gentle voice, eyes seeming to glow red.
"Now look. You're gonna let me go out this door, and never say a thing. If your boss asked, tell him somebody stole it. You got it?"
Nodding merely, eyes wide, and slimy body bloody, the frog, whose name-tag read "Beatrixa" pointed to the door, croaked for the girl to have a nice day, and Alice walked out like she said she would, and it was quite a while down the trail before she realized what she did. It almost surprised her that she didn't feel bad about it. The bitch of a frog had it coming for her. And smirking, her eyes back to normal, but now held evil in them, Alice wondered what to do next.
"I think I'll go see the queen..."
